It would be just our luck, though, right? Iowa wins this, we beat Iowa, but get no ratings bump, play in the semis and lose a tight one to MSU, and we hear: "They haven't beaten anybody, and that Michigan victory now isn't worth anything."

 

Nah, we get Iowa and win easily and go into the MSU rested and ready (after MSU has a hard fought win over UW) with payback on our mind...the path is clear, man.

On rpi wizard it indicates a Michigan loss would drop them to 32, so it probably would be hard to get back to q1.  At the end of the day, I don't think the committee is that stupid to consider a win over 26 rpi michigan and a 32 rpi michigan a big enough deal to be the difference between us making it or not.

Besides the obvious with how well Iowa played in the first half, they have a great chance to hold off Michigan due to Wolverine foul trouble.  Wagner, Rahkman, and Robinson all with 2 fouls.  All of them will likely play slightly less aggressive, especially if you can saddle them with a quick 3rd to start the 2nd half.

This is what I am afraid of happening!
